Scrub the baby potatoes clean and cut them in half if large. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, cut the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
Finely dice the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and black pepper. Add this mixture to the skillet with the onions and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the warm dressing. Let the potatoes heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and mix in the crispy bacon pieces and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the hot potato salad immediately, either as a side dish or a light main course.
